net send question

[Joseph Schwartz]

I have made a test VB6 app as folows:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ip As String
Dim msg As String
ip = "Gateway"
msg = "hey how are you"
Shell ("net send" & ip & " " & msg)
End Sub
The problem is when I run this I see a little dos icon flash by but no
message is received.
On the other hand it works fine from the command line?

Any ideas as to how to get this to work?

Thanks
Joe

You should ask in one of the VB6 groups next time because this is a VB.Net
group: microsoft.public.vb.*
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim ip As String
Dim msg As String
ip = "Gateway"
msg = "hey how are you"
Shell ("net send" & ip & " " & msg)
End Sub

Have a look at the string you pass to the Shell function. Watch the
blanks...

There is a 'Call' missing in front of the 'Shell'.

This is a VB.NET language group. You may want to post to one of the
microsoft.public.vb.* groups.
